The Wind and The Eagle

Miles Drake had an enviable life; then it came tumbling down. As he was in a pub drowning his sorrows in his beer he was approached by a distinguished gentleman who shared an unbelievable story. If this story were true, Miles had an option to walk through a ‘door’ and follow a different path in life.This 'door’ couldn’t be real. It was the stuff of fairy tales. But;what if it was! More

Miles Drake enjoyed health, wealth, love and friends, and a degree of success that comes to very few; then it came crashing down. One evening, while soldiering through the subsequent bleakness, Miles was having a pint in a pub he had enjoyed in happier times. Though entirely without any social inclinations he was approached by a dignified middle aged man who insisted on a few moments of his time. This man had a most unusual story to tell, and he opened a very strange and bizarre ‘door’ to Miles. The ‘door’, as judged by Miles, was probably bogus, yet he ‘rolled the dice’ and opened it – to a very hard life on a medieval norse world. Forty-two years later as an old man Miles learned there were deep connections between his two lives, but he never knew these lives joined in a forgotten incident as an eleven year old boy.
